The Academy has an unmatched wealth of expertise
amongst its membership of over 500 Fellows, who serve as the
cornerstone of the organization. These current and former
public managers and scholars, business executives and labor
leaders, Cabinet officers, members of Congress, governors,
mayors, state legislators, and diplomats provide insight and
experience as they oversee Academy projects and provide general
guidance.
Fellows are also the Academy's primary vehicle
for addressing emerging issues and contributing to the intellectual
and popular discourse on government. Fellows elect new members
of the Academy each year. The principal criterion for selection
is a sustained and outstanding contribution to the field of
public administration through public service or scholarship.
Most studies are carried out under the direction
of Project Panels which consist primarily of elected Academy
Fellows. This unique Academy resource is made up of current
and former elected and appointed officials from all levels
and branches of government, as well as business executives,
public managers, and scholars with distinguished records of
public service. A mixture of Academy staff and consultants
provide the resources to carry out management study projects.
The Academy also has an active intern program which provides
opportunities for students concentrating in public administration,
as well as policy and program analysis to participate in projects.
For information on the operations of the
Academy, Fellows and interested parties are encouraged to
refer to the Guide to Policies,
Practices and Procedures.
